My research focuses on the ecotoxicology and physiology of animals in the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene marks the commencement of significant human impact on Earth's ecosystems. Aquatic animals (insects, molluscs, and fish) are overwhelmed with environmental stressors such as climate change, increased nutrient levels, pollution, acidification, and invasive species. My research aims to understand how the physiology of these animals are impacted by these stressors and the interplay of mulitple stressors, predict the impacts of short- and long-term environmental change on aquatic communities and create solutions to help them continue to thrive. I use a multidisciplinary approach comprised of core techniques in biology, physiology, toxicology, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, chemistry and biogeochemistry. Some of my research supports the development of regulatory tools to determine safe levels of contaminants in aquatic environments.
